Young Gilbert Evans discovers the cost of freedom when he stands up against the tyranny of adults during the McCarthy Communist witch hunt of the early 1950's. The threat of Communism looms, and paranoia is the focus for Gilbert's town and for America. By shining a light on how we gave into our darkest urges when McCarthyism ran hot and trust ran cold, Richen artfully illustrates both the human cost of fear and the power of hope.
